Buying the kernel
A 501(c)3 corporation can only dispose of its assets <i>to another 501(c)3</i> in case of liquidation. It's part of the IRS rules. And any successor in assignment to FSF's property would be bound by contracts of FSF, including the copyright grant covenants. So, I don't think it's possible for closed relicensing to happen.<p><i>Bruce</i>
